Humanitarian Inclusion Standards become part of the Humanitarian Standards Partnership

The Humanitarian Inclusion Standards become part of the Humanitarian Standards Partnership, complementing existing guidelines and filling a gap to ensure the rights of older people and persons with disabilities are addressed in humanitarian action.

Rights-based approach to humanitarian action

In February of this year, with our partners in the Age and Disability Capacity Programme (ADCAP), we were delighted to announce the release of the Humanitarian Inclusion Standards.

CBM is now equally pleased that these standards are moving forward, and are now a member of the Humanitarian Standard Partnership (HSP). This partnership is a coalition of humanitarian standards initiatives sharing a rights-based approach and developed in the consultative, consensus-based manner.
